[Intro]
D G
My true North
[Verse 1]
D
Some days the only needle
D
That I'm movin' is the one that's on the dash and
G
Sometimes I'm a diesel
G
Runnin' on empty on a long stretch of black
A
East, West, left, up, down, right
G
Don't change where I point my headlights
[Chorus]
D
To the Chattahoochee River runnin' underneath the pines
D
Sweet perfume off a honeysuckle vine
G
Corner Georgia dive y'all come back on the door
G
My stuck in time, my true North
Bm
Springsteen, sweet tea, and a red letter page
A
All call my name when I lose my way
G
When I need to see the light on my mama's front porch
D G
I head down South to my true North (My true North)
[Verse 2]
D
My heart's got a compass
D
That must be a little busted 'cause it's
G
Stuck on a map dot, wrap around, supper's hot
G
Knows where I'm goin' and where I've been
A
But I got no objection
G
That it only points in one direction
[Chorus]
D
To the Chattahoochee River runnin' underneath the pines
D
Sweet perfume off a honeysuckle vine
G
Corner Georgia dive y'all come back on the door
G
My stuck in time, my true North
Bm
Springsteen, sweet tea, and a red letter page
A
All call my name when I lose my way
G
When I need to see the light on my mama's front porch
D
I head down South to my true North, yeah
G
Oh-oh, oh, to my true North (My true North)
[Bridge]
A
East, West, left, up, down, right
G
Good, bad or just alright
G
I'll always point my headlights
[Out-Chorus]
D
To the Chattahoochee River runnin' underneath the pines
D
Sweet perfume off a honeysuckle vine
G
Corner Georgia dive y'all come back on the door
G
My stuck in time, my true North
Bm
Springsteen, sweet tea, and a red letter page
A
All call my name when I lose my way
G
When I need to see the light on my mama's front porch
D
I head down South to my true North
G
Ooh, to my true north
